Who's restarting tomorrow?

[Princess Leah]

I did atkins last year over the last few months I have been off track. I am re-starting tomorrow cutting everything including my crutch COFFEE(with 3 splenda x-cream). So I will have a bad case of the atkins flu. I have no problem with the water just sticking to it, I lost between 25-30 pounds last time around. I did not re-gain any so I hope to get off 30 or so pounds to get to goal! Any help or pointers with starting over again would be great! Thanks and good Luck to all!

Gimme the skinny in 2006

Hey Leah! I'm restarting again as of today. I battled the holiday treats monster and lost! Good luck to you!

Wiseblood - just one step at a time, right? I'm sure the pounds will fly off.

Re: Who's restarting tomorrow?

I'm starting over, probably on Tuesday since life will be back to "normal" for me. I looked at some old posts and it appears I've been gone longer than I thought. But I knew I needed to come back because I knew Atkins was the only thing that REALLY worked for me without the side effects of diet pills and fad diets. And the ADBB was such a tremendous help the first time around. I don't think I could have managed the 47 pounds I lost the first round without the ADBB. And it certainly prooves that there's no room for delusions...yep, just one bite CAN derail everything. At least for some. Glad to be back all....hope to chat lots.

And good luck to all of us who are starting over. We know the routine...lets "get-r-done"!!!

Go for it guys! I wish all of you a squeaky clean Induction to eliminate any sugar cravings you might have at the moment. Getting rid of that sugar tooth or pizza temptations will only make you that much more likely to stick with the diet all the way through to the end. If you do get Induction flu, just keep drinking your water and perhaps take a couple tylenol. It will get better -- trust me, the discomfort is only temporary and it means the diet is working.

Re: Who's restarting tomorrow?

I restarted today. I've been off and on Atkins for the past 2 years. I'm gonna use Fitday to help out. I've already taken an aspirin for the onsight of a withdrawal headache from caffeine and sugar. Got the water on my desk.

Let's do it!

Re: Who's restarting tomorrow?

Welcome back all of you restarters

If it has been a while, make sure you reread the rules of induction in case you misremember some of the allowed foods! And maybe print out the wallet sized list on the induction forum to take with you for reference.

Re: Who's restarting tomorrow?

I'm restarting today too! I'm happy to be going back to induction and weight loss.

Re: Who's restarting tomorrow?

I restarted yesterday. Definately have induction flu so *it's working*. I was such a slllllooooowww loser on Atkins, it will be real interesting to me to see what happens this go around.

I went off the diet after we got hit with a hurricane and my life was upside down for a while, then the holidays came and I was a gonner. Went up 7 pounds since the end of October. Down a pound today though I'm sure that is all water weight. But I am encouraged and committed.

One thing I noticed during the cheat-a-thon was how difficult it was to drink water. Now that I've cut the carbs out, I'm finding it easier again. Already scarfed 56 oz and it's only 3:30. Only another 24 to go for today!!!!!

Keep this thread going guys we need to motivate each other!!!!

Re: Who's restarting tomorrow?

I commend you all on restarting your Atkins.

I agree it may be a good idea for you to keep this thread going or set up a new one each day to keep check on eachother and get you thru that dreaded induction. ITs good to have friends in the same boat you are to keep you rolling along!

Be sure to recheck out those stickeys at the top of this forum as they can be very helpful for restarting your low carb lifestyle.

Re: Who's restarting tomorrow?

Im restarting tommorow, 3rd Jan, had a wk off my new woe and had only got to wk 3!!! ...managed to avoid, pasta, bread, potatoes, but coudnt keep my hands off the chocolate/sweets that were about at work and at home for the kids
Is womens wk aswell, so feeling ultra bloated, ultra determined. just need to swat up on recipes rather than live off 100% beef burgers and eggs and umps of cheese to be safe.
Need to learn how to eat semi normal on this, was never much of a huge meat eater, it was all pasta and salad, bolognese, salad sarnies ect and tons of fruit which i so miss.
So wish me luck and ill weigh in nxt tues for my wk 1 back on the wagon

OOOh and happy new yr!!!!!!!

Re: Who's restarting tomorrow?

Oh, yes...fruit. I'm going to miss that, too. It's part of my daily snack. Course, by the time I fell off Atkins, fruit was an allowed part of my woe. But this is back to induction time so I guess the hubby is going to have to eat the grapes, oranges and pineapple. Thank goodness the holidays are over.

Fortunately, my craving for water is as strong as it was while on Atkins. I used to only drink Coke or iced tea, but Atkins got me on a water kick. I went back to the iced tea but lately I've only wanted water. So...that's one good thing.

Coffee. Now that's going to be another thing. I don't have decaf anymore, not to mention the latest reports on decaf (yea, everything we eat, drink and breath is going to kill us it seems). Maybe it's time to just kill the coffee all together? Oh geeze...I'm not going to like this...... I've had my morning cup of coffee on the 50 mile drive to work every morning for the last durn near 12 years! And considering I quit cigarettes again (picked them up again at the same time I fell off the low carb wagon) two weeks ago...no coffee, no cigarette...50 mile drive???

Re: Who's restarting tomorrow?

Hi Leah I am also restarting - 1st day of clean induction today! My weightloss goal is 30lbs. I have also lost weight in the past on Atkins but have put almost 1/2 the pounds back! Aggh!

Re: Who's restarting tomorrow?

but coudnt keep my hands off the chocolate/sweets that were about at work and at home for the kids

My downfall was the tin of Danish Butter Cookies placed on my desk by the boss for everybody to snack on. Only problem was I didn't share!!! I think I ate them all!!! OMG!!!!!!!!

Morning of day 3 of re-induction and I'm down 2.5 pounds so I am inspired to keep plugging (or is that chugging )!!!
